Exercise mechanism having multiple functions

Abstract

An exercise mechanism includes a base, a post and a pole extended upward from the base, a sleeve slidably engaged on the pole, a weight secured to the sleeve, a bracket pivotally secured to the post, and a cable coupling the bracket to the sleeve for lifting the sleeve and the weight upward when the bracket is rotated, a curved track fixed in the bracket, a frame pivotally secured to the post and having one end engaging with the curved track. The exercise mechanism can be used for practicing various kinds of exercises.

I claim: 
     
       1. An exercise mechanism comprising: a base;   post means and pole means extended upward from said base and extended in parallel with each other;   a sleeve slidably engaged on said pole means;   weight materials secured to said sleeve;   a bracket including an upper end pivotally secured to said post means and including a lower end;   a curved track fixed in said bracket, a frame pivotally secured to said post means and including one end rotatably engaging with said curved track, and a handle means secured to said frame for rotating said frame; and   cable means coupling said lower end of said bracket to said sleeve for lifting said sleeve and said weight materials upward along said pole means when said bracket is  about said upper end thereof.   
     
     
       2. An exercise mechanism according to claim 1 further comprising a pair of foot pedals secured to said lower end of said bracket for rotating said bracket against gravity force of said weight materials. 
     
     
       3. An exercise mechanism according to claim 1 further comprising a handle assembly secured to said upper end of said bracket for rotating said bracket against gravity force of said weight materials.
